Bianca Censori Prays for Husband Kanye West After His Week-Long Rants
Bianca Censori expressed concern for her husband Kanye West after the billionaire rapper spent the last few days spewing vitriol against a handful of minority groups, particularly the Jewish community, and went so far as to identify himself as a Nazi.
'Lord, I lift up my husband to You with love & concern. Soften his heart, guide his words, and fill him with wisdom and kindness,' Censori wrote on X Saturday night. 'Protect him from trouble & lead him toward understanding & respect for all people.
'Despite our differences, I love him unconditionally,' she continued. 'Strengthen our bond & help me be a source of patience & encouragement. I trust in Your grace to work in his heart. God Bless Israel and All The Good Jewish Pple. Amen.'

West, who now goes by Ye, has spent the last week hellbent on one-upping his own controversies by firing off a dozen antisemitic and hateful posts under the guise of free speech.
In a span of a few days the rapper praised Adolf Hitler, identified as a Nazi, doubled down on his misguided beliefs that slavery is a choice, and even posted a Yeezy T-shirt design with a swastika that he deemed his 'greatest performance art.'
For his latest rant on Sunday, West went on a tirade defending disgraced musicians Sean 'Diddy' Combs and R. Kelly. He then took a jab at Super Bowl performer Kendrick Lamar, who he previously collaborated with on his 2016 album The Life of Pablo.
The rapper also weighed in on X owner Elon Musk seemingly unfollowing his account due to his posts and wrote in all-caps: 'Even though Elon was forced to unfollow me he's a G. The world has never been allowed to see someone express themselves freely for this long.
'Freedom of expression is the next level of freedom,' West continued. 'Everyone answers to someone except me.'

A debut novel explores family relationships and cultural displacement
In her debut novel, Misophonia, Dana Vowinckel explores the cultural diaspora through one teenager's summer across Berlin, Jerusalem, and Chicago. It's a coming of age story that balances the narratives of a daughter and her father as well as the fifteen-year-old protagonist's abrupt (and reluctant) reunion with her mother. The book is also a semi-autobiographical trek through parts of Vowinckel's own life. Born in Berlin into an American-Jewish-German family, the author grew up between Chicago and Berlin and her novel manages to capture the sometimes awkward, oftentimes tender, dynamics of a family pulled across continents and histories. Though it explores the travails of teenage girlhood, the book also delves into the nuances of being Jewish and German and the challenges of reconciliation when your goals and feelings collide with world events. 'Language is at the core of the book, not identity,' Vowinckel explained in a recent interview in New York. 'It would be a mistake to read it as purely an identity novel,' she says. Critics have praised the novel for its rich, contrasting ingredients and Vowinckel's ability to narrate the emotions of its teenage protagonist with warmth and clarity. The book won the Mara Cassens Prize, a German literary award given annually for the best German debut novel, and earned Vowinckel the literature prize of the Association of Arts and Culture of the German Economy. It was also shortlisted for the Leipzig Book Fair Prize which celebrates outstanding new publications written in German. The 27-year old Vowinckel, who studied linguistics and literature in Berlin, Toulouse and Cambridge, was in New York to promote the recently published English translation of Misophonia by HarperVia. (The book was translated from its original German by Adrian Nathan West.) Vowinckel's visit included events at Germany's Consulate General of New York - which promotes cultural, intellectual, and artistic exchanges with Germany - and Deutsches Haus at New York University. Misophonia opens in Chicago, with parts set in Berlin and Israel. It follows a teenage protagonist, Margarita, as she travels to her father's birthplace in Israel with the mother who left her when she was a toddler. Margarita shares a special bond with her father, Avi - a doting Israeli who is a cantor at their local synagogue - ever since her mother, Marsha, abandoned the family. Eventually, arrangements are made - without Margarita's knowledge - for her to meet Marsha in Israel before returning to Germany. Blindsided, she wants no part of this overdue reconciliation with a mother she hardly knows. Meanwhile, in Germany, Avi tries to fill the hole left by Margarita's absence with a trip of his own, embarking on a personal journey, both hope-inducing and despairing. Writing the book through the prism of dueling narratives - switching between a teenage girl, and her father - allowed Vowinckel to engage readers in an unusual point-of-view combination, she says. Accounts of Jewish congregational life in Berlin are mixed with detailed descriptions of the awkwardness and lust that go along with living inside a female teenage body. 'Both perspectives were very interesting to me,' Vowinckel told the Chicago Review of Books in May. 'With a 15-year-old, there's early sexuality and kind of being lost in the world, contrasted with the very lonely, quiet life of Avi,' she said. Straddling the two narratives also helped balance the exploration of imperfect family relationships and larger cultural displacement, the author says. 'I think it was very helpful for me to have a protagonist with a very specific job description because that gives you rhythm to the text,' Vowinckel says. 'It made it very easy for me to start this big novel project with this very calm, laconic voice, and then mix it with Margarita.'

Bianca Censori Leaves Locals In Spain 'Horrified' With Racy Display During Market Outing With Kanye West
Bianca Censori sparked outrage in Mallorca, Spain, after wearing a sheer top during a market visit with Kanye West. The Australian model's racy outfit swiftly prompted backlash, with critics calling the look "inappropriate" and "disrespectful." Bianca Censori and Kanye West, known for provocative fashion choices, also made headlines at the 2025 Grammys when Censori appeared nude. Censori stirred controversy over the weekend while shopping with husband West in Mallorca, Spain, after stepping out in a sheer black fishnet top that left little to the imagination. The 30-year-old Yeezy architect raised eyebrows as she browsed stalls at a local outdoor market, her chest visibly exposed beneath the see-through outfit. Witnesses described the scene as shocking, with one onlooker telling that passersby were audibly questioning whether her outfit was real. "People were horrified. They could be heard asking, 'Is that her real nipple?' as they walked by," the source recalled, noting that West "was standing back a little, letting her browse the market." See photos of Bianca Censori's racy look here. Though the bold fashion choice left some residents visibly uncomfortable, Censori wasn't breaking any laws. Since 2020, under Catalonia's gender equality legislation, women in parts of Spain have had the legal right to go topless in public, including on beaches and in certain outdoor spaces. According to The Daily Record, local authorities face steep fines of up to €250,000 if they infringe on these rights by attempting to stop topless women in approved areas. Though Censori's daring style choice didn't break any laws, social media erupted with complaints, with many calling the outfit "inappropriate" and questioning why authorities hadn't intervened. "Why hasn't this woman been arrested for indecency yet!!!?" one person wrote. Others chimed in, labeling her appearance "disrespectful" to Spanish cultural norms. "We have literally seen it all, even when we didn't want to. So disrespectful to the country and their modest views," read a comment. Another critic noted: "How do they get away with this nudity? If any other non-celeb tried it, they would be arrested." Despite the uproar, Censori wasn't alone. Her 29-year-old sister Angelina joined the couple, dressed far more conservatively in a black sundress with her hair pulled back into a neat chignon. Meanwhile, West departed from his usual all-black attire, opting for jeans and a hoodie with the word "Army" on it. West and Censori continue to stir controversy with their headline-making fashion choices and public behavior. Censori, in particular, has drawn backlash for her risqué style, which often leaves little to the imagination. One of their most talked-about moments occurred at the 2025 Grammy Awards, where Censori arrived in a dramatic black fur coat, only to shed it on the red carpet and reveal a completely see-through look underneath. The stunt sparked outrage and fueled rumors that the couple was headed for a split. Despite ongoing speculation about their relationship status, the controversial couple has kept a united front. They are reportedly in Spain working through personal issues during what insiders called "crisis talks." During the trip, West posted a photo of Censori dressed in a daring silver corset and thigh-high leather boots. However, despite maintaining a public image of unity, behind the scenes, tension is reportedly brewing between West and Censori. According to insiders speaking with The U.S. Sun, the "Runaway" rapper is blocking Censori from pursuing high-paying brand deals, causing friction in their relationship. Insiders claim Censori is growing increasingly "frustrated," yearning to build her own identity and financial independence apart from her husband. "She knows she could make tons of money," a source said. "She wants to explore opportunities as a model, brand ambassador, and a talented individual, not just someone living in the shadow of her husband. But Kanye keeps shutting her down." With aspirations to break into modeling and brand partnerships, the insider noted that Censori could earn up to "$6 million annually." "She keeps pushing for more independence, but he always says no, and she won't accept a deal without his approval," they added.
